My First Visit

Whether you choose to visit us at one of our outpatient clinic locations or we come to your home, your first visit will be a chance for your Arete Rehab therapist to get to know you and your needs, and for you to get to know your therapist. Before your first visit can begin, your therapist will seek consent for treatment*

Once your therapist has been granted consent for your treatment, your first visit can begin. It will typically last anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes. During that time, your therapist will review your both rights as a patient and Arete Rehab’s privacy practices. Your therapist will then ask you and your caregivers questions to learn more about your needs.

Your present medications
